Community Meal Service Log

Soup kitchens, congregate meal sites and community kitchens report two numbers that are almost never recorded together: meals served and volunteer effort. Keeping them in one file means the ratio between them is available whenever somebody asks, and the count is built up from service records rather than reconstructed at the end of a quarter. Meal categories, portion definitions and what counts as a meal are yours to set — they differ between every program and every funder.

  • Meals served by service, day and category
  • Volunteer hours recorded alongside the count
  • Period totals ready for a funder report

What counts as a meal, how portions are defined and which categories a funder wants are set by your program and your funder. The workbook totals what you record; it does not decide what to record.
